	So what does this have to do with OEC?

You know that OEC is in Ohio, right?

Your request is documented on my end. If you want more, contact OEC yourself and see if you can push it through. Just a word of advice - if you are trading a 1 lot account, don't expect everything to be dropped for you, ok?

I'd like to keep this thread on topic, so please let it be.

Hi guys,
I'been using OEC for a couple of month and I dont know how to get a continuos contract plotted,can anybody tell me is this is posible?
Sorry for this kind of question,I'm newbie and have not experience on EL,but I've been trying to paste and copy some indicator codes from tradestation(OEC said it should work)and just doesn't.
Does anybody have done something about it,like Value chart,squeeze or something else?
Thanks

BF - If you are doing another submission soon could you place on it a request for OEC to integrate with Investor R/T. OEC integrates with various 3rd party softwares but I R/T is not one of them. I have mentioned doing so to I R/T, would you be able to submit it to OEC (sort of get them all surrounded!)?

Thanks

I'll mention it in the next write up MrEd. No prob!

Here's a few things I would like to see:
I regards to drawing tools:
It would be nice if you could "clone" a trend line, copy and paste it rather that have to draw a new one. Most charting programs have this.

It would be nice if there was an option to erase all drawn objects. Right now you have to go through and delete each one, which is a real pain.

If you have a trend line drawn at an angle and you try to zoom in, the chart flattens out, rather than keeping the trend line at roughly the same angle. Very annoying. You have to delete the trendline in order to get a decent looking chart.

An indicator I would like would be one where it puts a little line at the highs and lows. I think Ninja calls it a price channel. I think tradestation has something like that too.

Those are the things that have been bothering me the most since I started using OEC charts.

Good idea.

It's there, you just haven't found it. Here's how:

I need a little more explanation on this as I do not use trend lines.

This also already exists. Was one thing I requested awhile back.

Go to:

INDICATORS > CHANNELS > DAILY HIGH/LOW

From there, you can set what times to use for this.

Thanks for the response. Nice to know I can erase those old lines.
The price channel showing swing highs and lows would generate a chart that looks like this:


Those red and blue dotted lines are made as the chart moves forward, just marking the last swings. Just handy to have sometimes for reference. I don't see how this can be done with the "Daily High/Low" box.

The "Flattening" out can be illustrated like this:

Here is the normal chart with a trend line drawn:


As we zoom in, it flattens out:


Here is the same zoomed in image with the trend line removed:

Not a huge deal, but can be anoying at times.
Another simple drawing tool that would be nice is to be able to draw a simple circle.

Thanks,
John
